    These are all pretty good. [1] This book is well written and the text is coherent. The author of the book was wronged, otherwise how could the Sui Dynasty have destroyed it and how could the Tang Dynasty have been established? [2] The writing is so delicate; it makes you feel the author has great talent. It's so captivating you can't put the book down. It's as thrilling as *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*! [3] The book is indeed good and very exciting. I would also like to recommend a similar one, but it's not available here. It's called "The Great Wei Palace".
